The Warrior of Love

Jiang Liu's drastic measures might have frightened Bell and the others a little...

The assassins were unexpectedly stubborn and none of them surrendered. Even the one Jiang Liu had specially left behind to torture him said that he would rather die than surrender, which surprised Jiang Liu very much.

Of course, since he has fallen into Jiang Liu's hands, he has no choice but to speak out or not.

His mental strength was overwhelming to these assassins, and Jiang Liu was not a soft-hearted person. Just a glance was enough to break the other party's consciousness and he obtained a lot of information (but some of the information was not even clear to the assassins themselves).

But Jiang Liu was really surprised for a long time after knowing the truth...

There is no need to clean up the scene. Similar things are not uncommon in this city anyway. What we should worry about is the power behind the assassin being exposed.

Such a scene was nothing to Jiang Liu, who had seen hell. Although Hestia and Hebe were disgusted, the gods were obviously knowledgeable and did not overreact. Only Bell... vomited violently.

After all, this young man had only killed monsters so far and had never experienced a battlefield between humans.

Jiang Liu threw the assassin, who was like a rag, away without stopping and took his men home directly.

These assassins are all high-level adventurers, and one of them is even at level one... Jiang Liu was thinking on the way home about why he was attacked.

The mastermind behind this is a clan he has never heard of. It seems to be the so-called "Dark Faction", that is, the evil god's clan that is not tolerated by the mainstream clans of Orario and can only operate in the dark.

Because the main gods of these clans are often some very crazy guys, and the entire clan is sick - or the sick people have joined them.

In short, they are a group of troublemakers, but this still cannot explain why they targeted Jiang Liu and others.

If you want to plot some conspiracy, or even subvert the world, then go deal with Loki, Freya and the others!

There are only two people in the Heber clan at present, so what's the problem? Why did they send a group of high-level adventurers to carry out the assassination?

are you crazy!

——Although they are indeed mentally ill, they are not stupid. They are already excluded by the mainstream clan, so they should not show any signs easily.

Therefore, there must be a reason for this action!

To be honest, Jiang Liu has never done anything that would make anyone hate him since he came to this world.

He just fights monsters and levels up. He doesn't cause any trouble and doesn't pretend to be cool. He is simply a clear stream among time travelers. I really don't understand why people still come up to pick trouble with him even though he is so low-key.

After returning to the church, everyone simply packed up their luggage, prepared for moving tomorrow, and soon went to rest.

Perhaps because everyone was very tired, no one said much.

——This is a lie!

Jiang Liu was worried about something and didn't want to say much, while the other three also had complicated thoughts.

Even though it was natural for Jiang Liu to be angry since Hebe was attacked, Hestia and the others did not expect Jiang Liu to react so violently.

If it were them, they would probably just ask who was behind it, and then teach them a lesson, and take revenge, but they wouldn't kill so many people...

Especially Heber. When he met Jiang Liu, he was harassed by a group of thugs. However, Jiang Liu just taught them a lesson and did not really kill them. So it was even more surprising to see him behave like this today.

Is it... for me?

——There was also a hidden joy in my heart.

But how could they know that Jiang Liu was not a person who killed indiscriminately, nor was he a soft-hearted person.

Although it was annoying to be harassed by gangsters, Jiang Liu would not kill them. At most, he would hit them harder so that they would learn a lesson they would never forget.

But the nature of the assassination incident is different!

In Jiang Liu's opinion, this is already a very clear "enemy".

He not only had murderous intentions towards us, but also had clear bad intentions, and even planned and carried out an ambush - if this isn't an enemy, what else could he be?

Even if he was scolded or had some trouble, Jiang Liu probably wouldn't take it to heart. He wasn't some Long Aotian who would kill someone if they glared at him...

But once he identifies someone as an "enemy", there will be no room for maneuver and he will attack them without any hesitation!

At this point, killing is nothing. Would you be afraid of killing the river flow that runs through hell?

In fact, as gods, although they were surprised by Jiang Liu's cruelty, Hebe and Hestia quickly accepted it.

They are the main gods who guide children, so naturally they don't want their children to go astray. But since Jiang Liu was just fighting back in self-defense, they can understand even if he is a little resolute.

The one who was truly shocked was Bell Cronney...

The White Rabbit Boy has always regarded Jiang Liu as one of the heroic figures in the fairy tales he read in childhood. For him, who has always admired heroes, Jiang Liu is an almost deified image.

In other words, Jiang Liu is Bell's "ideal self".

Then naturally, Jiang Liu is almost perfect in Bell's heart, radiant and dreamy.

But the hero that Bell imagined would never be so cruel.

They should be brave, strong, just and kind, and even if they are enemies, they should be given a chance if they are willing to change their ways. In fact, in many heroic stories, there are characters like "friends who were once enemies".

Without giving any chance, without a trace of mercy or hesitation, as if he was just doing a very ordinary thing, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with depriving human life - such a river flow made Bell doubt his ideals.

Maybe it was just because he was very angry, or maybe he cared too much about his own god. After all, if the Lord God was hurt, he would also be very angry - Bell tried his best to persuade himself.

However, Jiang Liu, who saw the struggle in his heart, just said one sentence lightly, which completely shattered his hope of luck.

"I'm not the kind of hero you think. I have many ways to deal with those assassins, but I just chose the simplest one - yes, I don't care.

I am not a righteous partner, nor will I use friendship and kindness to influence my enemies. You can say that I am cold-blooded or something else, but I am deeply impatient with this kind of thing of influencing my enemies, and I prefer to solve problems with force.

Bell, I will not be your vision."

The white-haired boy is still a child...

Not making excuses for Bell, but that's the truth.

He has the purest essence, his yearning for heroes and his beautiful humanity, which make up the individual named "Bell Cranie".

This innocent boy came from a pure soul, and even Jiang Liu felt that this boy's qualities were so rare. His care for him was definitely not just because he was the adopted son of Zeus.

However, precisely because of this, Jiang Liu had to tell him clearly not to have too perfect fantasies about himself.

It is undoubtedly cruel to crush a young boy's dreams in this way.

But Jiang Liu feels that letting children believe that "the world is a beautiful place" is an irresponsible behavior in itself.

As adults, it is necessary to tell them what the real world is like, but we just shouldn't interfere with their choices.

Of course, he is a "warrior of love" and will not hit Bell too hard. He just wants to wake him up from his sweet dream for a moment.

If Bell still sticks to his ideals... Jiang Liu might admire him instead.

All this depends on whether Bell can come out of this confused state.

Putting Bell's matter aside for the moment, Jiang Liu returned to his room and was thinking about how to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Yes, he didn't intend to stop here.

Jiang Liu felt inexplicably irritated when he thought that there was a group of psychopaths secretly plotting how to deal with him and Heber.

If a common man gets angry, he will bleed for five steps. If a "strong" man like Jiang Liu gets angry, the consequences will naturally be more serious.

The dark faction... This group of people hide in dark corners. After the assassination fails, they will naturally move away, so it is very difficult to find them.

But it's not that there are no clues at all. Although Jiang Liu didn't get the information "why he came to assassinate" from the assassin, he knew who found the Dark Clan and led them to ambush him.

"Ishtar..." Jiang Liu chewed on the name, his eyes inexplicably deep. The images of the Amazon warrior and the blonde fox man flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but sneer.

Could it be that he was also blinded by evil and was repaid with ingratitude?

That's really... even more annoying!

"Hercules?"

Just as Jiang Liu was sneering to himself, a worried voice sounded from behind him, followed by a pair of slender arms reaching around Jiang Liu's chest and hugging him tightly, and a soft and light warm touch came from behind.

"Well……"

"Don't look so terrible, my Hercules."

Leaning his head on Jiang Liu's back, Heber hugged him from behind and spoke softly with some pity.

"I'm fine... and you can't be in trouble either."

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "What can happen to me? Even those assassins were easily dealt with by me, right? Hebe, I have nothing to fear in this city."

"not like this."

Heber let go of Jiang Liu, walked up to him and held his hand, his delicate little face full of urgency and worry.

"Because you look like you're about to do something irreversible. Listen carefully, when I was in heaven, I often spied on what was happening in the underworld. Once many people let anger and impulse take control of themselves, they will slide into the abyss and can never turn back."

"So that's the case. Then you don't have to worry."

A hint of warmth flowed through Jiang Liu's eyes, and he reached out and touched Heber's silver hair.

Should we say that they are worthy of being the eyes of God?

Heber saw that Jiang Liu actually had a strong murderous nature, which came from his past experiences, making it possible for him to transform into a Shura at any time.

But his "self" is also very strong, so he can always remain calm.

However, when his emotions fluctuate greatly, the murderous intent he exudes becomes particularly frightening, to the point that even Heber misunderstands whether he is having a hard time thinking...

"I won't slip... Strictly speaking, I've already fallen in once but climbed out, so I'm confident that I have enough self-control. Besides, I won't do anything bad. Believe me, Hebe - the irreversible is definitely not our fate."

Chapter 182: Let’s go to Happy Street and have fun

The new home of the Heber family is a mansion in a prosperous area. The previous owner of the mansion, a family member, was injured during an expedition and sold some real estate to make up for the loss of equipment. As a result, he was introduced to Heber by the guild.

Moving is a rather troublesome process, but we had already found a professional to decorate the new house and planned the rooms, so it was just a matter of moving the luggage in and putting it away, which was not particularly troublesome.

But when all the trivial things are connected together, it will become quite time-consuming, and by the time everything is settled, it is already dark.

After dinner, Jiang Liu, who was supposed to go back to his room, suddenly proposed to take Bell out to "see the world."

"Bell-kun?" Hestia nodded and said happily, "That's good. He's been in a bad mood lately and I'm worried. Maybe he'll be fine if he goes out to relax. If Hercules-kun accompanies him, there's no need to worry about his safety."

Heber looked at Jiang Liu a little uneasily, as if guessing his intentions.

In order to reassure her, Jiang Liu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."

Then he took out his metal box and placed it in the middle of the living room, dropping it heavily on the carpet.

"Although we are in a busy area and don't have to worry about anyone causing trouble, we still need to be careful. I'll leave this at home."

Jiang Liu patted the box and said confidently: "I have imprinted the mental instructions. Although it cannot be as flexible as a real life, if anything happens, protecting your safety will be the top priority."

Demon Armor is actually a special kind of life form, but its existence is different from flesh and blood creatures such as humans and elves.

Even without a "host", it can still move freely, but its ability value is not as high as when it is worn by Jiang Liu.

But then again, with Jiang Liu's current physical ability, the attributes of the Demon Armor have also risen sharply and have long reached a rather exaggerated level. Even without the cooperation of its master, it can easily defeat most adventurers fighting alone.

With this thing, there is no need to worry about Heber's safety. During this special period when people are secretly watching him, Jiang Liu can go out without worry.

"That's good." After getting Jiang Liu's assurance, Heber was relieved. "As long as you can stay calm... By the way, where are you going?"

The goddess of youth was very curious, where was Bell going to be taken to "see the world"?

"Oh, nothing."

Jiang Liu casually said, "Just go to Happy Street."

"Ha!" The goddess's expression turned sinister. "Say it again?"

-

Really, paranoid women are really hard to deal with.

Jiang Liu didn't understand why Heber was so angry. You know, he went to Happy Street to do serious business!

Whether Heber believes it or not, Jiang Liu really has a clear conscience.

The reason for bringing Bell along was mainly because he had been a little taciturn these past two days, and Jiang Liu was worried that he would get stuck in a rut, so he let him come out and relax.

No matter how innocent he was, he was raised by that old pervert Zeus, so he would definitely be happier in such an occasion - Jiang Liu guessed wrong.

Instead of showing any happiness or joy, Bell was trembling with fear all the way, and he was almost hiding behind Jiang Liu like a girl.

The reason is simple, because Bale is very "popular" here!

The white hair without a trace of impurities, the pure red eyes that reveal innocence, the cute and soft facial features, the slender figure and the clear temperament make this boy loved by all kinds of big sisters.

Even Jiang Liu, a completely straight man, sometimes thinks that Bell is rather...cute, let alone these older sisters who are mature both physically and mentally?

The more fallen and polluted a person's soul is, the more he will desire an existence like Bell.
